I try to use a Huawei E169 USB-modem on a Lenovo X61 with Opensuse 11.1. Under Opensuse 11 it worked pefectly, but now I always only get the message “preparing”.

/var/log/messages says:

Dec 28 16:52:39 linux-x61 su: (to root) uli on /dev/pts/1
Dec 28 16:58:49 linux-x61 modem-manager: (/dev/ttyUSB1) opening serial device…
Dec 28 16:58:49 linux-x61 modem-manager: –> ‘ATZ E0 V1 X4 &C1 +CMEE=1’
Dec 28 16:58:52 linux-x61 modem-manager: –> ‘AT+CFUN=0’
Dec 28 16:58:57 linux-x61 modem-manager: Closing device ‘/dev/ttyUSB1’

I hope this information helps.

Best regards
Uli

Factory is already branched for 11.2 development.

Would a fresh download of Latest Development Version {aka Factory} include the RC2 material even though there is insufficient time to advertise publicly 1 week before the main release?
btw, I briefly tested GMC-KDE Live CD x86-64 & have 2 comments there irt to xserver problem (?), that just started occurring w/ RC1, still exists on laptop w/ nVidia 8600M GT GPU!

Will “/update/11.1” be restored before the 18th December?
Is there any point in submitting further bug reports before the final release?

Thanks!
Problem is that my only internet connection is through a 3g modem: if it don’t work from the beginning, I’ll not be able to fix it. I don’t have spare disk space to install another distro so I can only test the liveCDs, and there I cannot obtain the info required.
I’m trapped…

Due to the time it takes to release a build publicly, we are not releasing any RCs besides RC1 to the public.

I know that it works for some folks. If you could help with the testing asked for in bug #435675 that would speed things up.

Note that we will deliver critical fixes with online updates later…

Any news with networkmanager and 3g modems not working together?

Yeah … I’m running a mixed bleeding-edge system on my Athlon64 X2 desktop (factory plus some of the repositories in openBuild service plus some hand-compiled stuff like R and GGobi and Atlas. But I’d like to drop back to RC2 now and RC3 when it’s available. Is there some magic combination of repositories that will give me an RC2 system?

There’s currently no 11.1 tree available – factory is frozen right now.
